I brewed this weekend and wasn't able to drill a hole wide enough. I bought a 4 1/8 circular saw and bit but it didnt fit on my standard drill. So I'm currently fermenting with the lid open and have been able to maintain an average of 62-65*. Here's a pic Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Nice setup! I wish I had the room for that type of system. My garage already has a large freezer (food, no beer :/) and my kegerator. Not sure I can fit another fridge in there. Thanks for the reply. Skep18 can you post some photos of your ice cube cooler. Does a 6 gallon bucket fit in...

What's the consensus on the 60 quart cooler method? I want a better system than what I have now, which is basically my closet and keeping the a/cat 71. I'm thinking about buying the 60q for my next brew. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Brewed this recipe months ago and it was PHENOMENAL! Just wanted to give a thumbs up to bnilguy! DPA is one of my favorite beers. I recently started BIAB. So gonna use the 5.5g AG recipe above soon. Thanks for this thread everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Forgot to mention on my post above, I pitched two dry packs of US-05. Thanks for your help! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I am a new BIAB brewer having done 3 to date after brewing with extract for a year and a half. I took a FG in my latest red ale and the hydrometer read 1.022. This is the highest FG I've ever had. This is not a high gravity brew. I've been reading this string and others and see that higher...

Thank you Seven for creating such a well documented process and for all who have posted. Just finished my first biab!

Looking back it makes sense that the hops flavor/aroma would be diminished by dry hopping in the kegerator. I hold my hops in the fridge while conditioning in secondary so they stay fresh. Makes sense that the oils would kind of "remain fresh" or not release even when on the cold wort while in...

I have dry hopped my past two brews in keg on carbonation while in my kegerator at 40 degrees. I left the hop bag in the keg/kegerator on CO2 for two weeks. In my opinion this has definitely contributed to less hop aroma and flavor. I'm assuming the cold temp doesnt allow the alpha acids to...

I've taken Brucedelta's AG recipe and come up with this extract and grains summer love clone. Please critique: 6.6 lbs Pilsen light LME 1.0 lbs Munich grains 1.0 lbs Vienna .5 lbs. carapils 0.5 Chinook (had to sub for Simcoe LHBS was out of Simcoe) @ 90 0.5 Tettnang @ 10 0.5 Amarillo @ 5 0.5...

Anyone tried this as an extract with grains recipe. I'm hoping to brew this weekend and haven't been able to see a Summer Love extract and grains recipe. Any help you all can provide would be MUCH appreciated!

No effects at all!!! Tasted the brew this weekend and its delicious. Very happy with the result and I was clearly overreacting. Thanks for the moral support along the way all! Happy brewing!!!

Does anyone know what that stuff/gunk at the bottom of old bottles is? Will it infect a batch? Can it make you sick?

Thanks for the quick reply! No it was that gunk/mold that forms on empty bottles for sure.

I've got a hot mess on my hands. I bottled an IPA this weekend after rinsing all bottles with hot water and running them through a sanitation cycle in my dishwasher. When bottling I realized that I had forgotten the priming sugar. So, I had to return some of the filled bottles back to the...

Is 1oz of Simcoe (14 AA) a good option for an IPA in a 5 gallon brew? 7 days?

Thanks!!

I've brewed an IPA thats been in the primary for two weeks. I'm debating whether to dump my 1 oz of dry whole Simcoe hops into the fermenter or to place the hops into a mesh brew bag with sanitized marbles (as I've read works pretty well) into the carboy. I'd like to know what technique you all...
